Function |
Could be a melanogenic enzyme. {ECO:0000250}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Melanosome. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. Detected at the cell surface in different types of cancers cells, including glioblastoma multiforme cells and most melanoma cell lines.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Up-regulated in various cancer cells, including in glioblastoma multiforme. Expressed in many melanoma cells, as well as in tissue macrophages, including liver Kuppfer cells and lung alveolar macrophages, in podocytes and in some cells of the ciliary body of the eye (at protein level). Hardly detectable in healthy brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16489096, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16609006, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7814155}.
